Just found out im pregnant, barely a month. Bohot khushi hai but also thoda scared about doing anything that could harm the baby this early. Is it okay in the first month or better to wait? little shy to ask my doc directly tbh.
Medically, the baby is well protected inside the amniotic sac, so normal intercourse doesn't harm them. However, my doctor did mention that if there is any history of bleeding, cramps, or a low-lying placenta, one should strictly avoid it in the early weeks.
During our first appointment at Max Hospital, we asked the senior consultant this directly. She said unless there is bleeding or high risk, it is completely fine, but advised us to be very gentle. Definitely ask your doctor during your first scan.
Having a history of PCOS made me super cautious, so we decided to wait until the first scan was normal and our doctor gave the green signal. If you have any history of spotting or cysts, it's really best to be safe and ask your gynac.
In my case, because of my health complications, the doctor had asked us to completely avoid physical intimacy in the first trimester. If your pregnancy is totally normal, it might be fine, but do check with your doctor first.
Elders in the family usually advise staying completely away from physical relations in the first three months. But my doctor said it is safe if there are no complications. I chose to trust the doctor but we still took it very easy.
Oh, I remember being so nervous about this during my first month! My baby is a healthy toddler now, but back then we actually avoided it for the first trimester just for peace of mind. If you feel comfortable and your doctor says okay, there is no harm.
